Two sodium phosphate glasses with different structure (meta- and orthophosphate ones) were thermally poled well below the glass transition temperatures. Glass with an orthophosphate structure (glass LA30) demonstrated a typical behavior of polarization current, that is, monotonic current decrease; however, in glass with a metaphosphate structure (glass LA10) the current first increased for 15–20 min and only then started monotonic decreasing. In spite of the similar sodium content, the current in LA10 glass exceeded the one in LA30 glass by about 10 times. This is explained by the capability of substituting intrinsic sodium ions by more mobile protons entering LA10 glass with a metaphosphate structure from the atmosphere. The other difference consists in the fact that the subanodic layer of LA10 glass after poling has many small cracks, while the subanodic layer of LA30 glass is crystallized. It should be emphasized that the crystallization of phosphate glasses under dc electric field below glass transition temperature is
observed for the first time. In addition, after poling, no changes in the refractivity of both glasses were detected, but the generation of the second optical harmonic in LA30 glass was observed.

We demonstrate and rationalize the effect of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the hierarchical g-C3N4/CeO2 heterojunction. g-C3N4/CeO2 decorated with monodispersed plasmonic Au NPs was synthesized. Detailed analyses showed that CeO2 nanocubes and monodispersed Au NPs were evenly distributed over the 2D g-C3N4 surface, forming a robust interface enriched with abundant active sites. The structure enabled efficient separation of photogenerated charge ...

We theoretically investigate the correlation functions of the phase of a light wave propagating through a

nonlinear term. Based on this equation, we develop a diagrammatic technique to calculate corrections

Bright transient objects in different wave bands have been discovered in recent years.
To explain these short (from ms to s), and very powerful events, different models, galactic and
extragalactic, have been considered. One of the popular models is based on the suggestion of

shock wave, moving with relativistic ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...
